01 Feb 02:00 Washington Wizards vs Los Angeles Clippers

The Clippers are coming off a disappointing loss to the Cavs in a game they could’ve played better, this is a game that they are going to destroy the Wizards. The over could be a good bet for this game considering how well offensively Washington has been in their previous 3 games, but if the Clippers play better defense here the over will not come. The Clippers will obviously hold their end on the offensive side, but the over can still come even in a big blowout. But I’m taking the Clippers with a spread to cover here.

Suggested Bet: (-6.5 Clippers)

01 Feb 03:30 Brooklyn Nets vs Phoenix Suns

Ben Simmons is back, and he made his statement when the Nets got a big blowout win against the Utah Jazz. Now these two have already met this season and the Nets beat a healthy Suns team. Now Kevin Durant is making his first appearance in Brooklyn since leaving and I think he is going to have a good game, but his team will be pushed here. One thing I like about this fixture is that there are no big blowouts, so I am taking Cam Thomas to punish the Sun’s defense, as the Nets either cause a surprise or they cover the spread.

Suggested Bet: (+10 Brooklyn Nets)

01 Feb 05:00 Portland Trail Blazers vs Milwaukee Bucks

Milwaukee will not be happy with the fact that they have lost 2 games in their last 5, but this is a game they will add to their wins for the new month. The Bucks are a great team that can dominate the paint with the likes of Giannis and Brook Lopez, but they also shoot well from beyond the arc with the likes of Malik Beasley and Damian Lillard. In recent years Portland does not have a good record against the Bucks, don’t overthink this one.

Suggested Bet: Bucks ML
